Complete topping-up equipment for Alcad Ni-Cd batteries Alcad’s complete topping-up equipment consists of a filling pistol “cell topper” and a water containment unit connected by a flexible hose. The filling pistol, which has a flow rate of 8 litres/min., shuts off at the correct level when the appropriate spacer tube is used. Designed to simplify the water replenishment procedure for large sizes or numbers of cells, the equipment is effective especially where the electrolyte levels cannot be seen easily. 1 Remove all rings, watches, and other items with metal parts prior to working with battery. 2 Wear protective gear, rubber gloves, long sleeves, closed goggles or shield. Never allow an exposed flame or spark near the battery. Never smoke while performing any operation on the battery. Discharge any possible static electricity from clothing and/or tools by touching an earthconnected part “ground” prior to working with the battery. Electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes. In the event of contact with skin and eyes, wash immediately with plenty of water. If eyes are affected, flush with water, and obtain immediate medical attention. 1 Easy to manoeuvre: handles like a hand truck 2 Easy to use: instructions displayed directly on the unit 3 Easy to fill: large opening 4 Dependable water source 5 On/off switch: located on the rear of the unit 6 Output hose 7 Sealed cell battery is included
